4/14 and 5/26 are just as good as Rotterdam, and probably 4/24 too!
My favorite show of the tour just might be 5/3...

Not to diminish their stature, Rotterdam 5/11, The Strand 5/26, Tivoli 4/14, Paris 5/4 are all amazing in their own right and never fail to please and/or amaze, but that night of May 3rd in Paris is so deep, so organic, so synergistic that it still stands out after all these years and countless listenings. With so many twists and turns, there are moments in The Other One that could easily stand as audio backdrops or metaphors for the recent Californian rains, and yet there are also those moments of quiet closeness like a slow walk through a dense fog - shrouded in mystery and foretelling . . .
For those who haven't spent time with this gem, I recommend giving it a serious listen during your next extended rain or snowstorm.
and kind wishes of happy holidays to all with hopes of health, happiness, peace and prosperity to you in your new year . . .

As a matter of fact I'll have to revisit it when I'm done reviewing November and December 73.

No checklist, it's purely impressionistic. I factor in the setlist and sound quality, but it's weighted more heavily towards the playing and musicianship. Shows like 6/24/70 and 11/8/70 still garner perfect scores in spite of their sonic deficiencies. A show such as 4/16/78 I will score fairly high based on its brilliant sound quality.
Obviously there is little separating a 99+ and 100 point score, it's purely subjective! Each listening experience is slightly different. Reviewing shows will always be a work in progress for me. Many scores will change slightly from time to time. It's just like Robert Parker says of older wines, "there are no great wines, just great bottles."

Hope your holiday is a 100. Or at least a 97+ :-)
